    RFK Jr doubles down on wild false claim MMR vaccine contains ‘aborted fetus debris’
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/rfk-jr-mmr-vaccine-fetus-b2742886.html
    The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has doubled down on false claims the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine contains “aborted fetus debris”. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine sceptic, made the remarks after the number of measles cases in a Texas outbreak topped 660 with dozens more reported in New Mexico. Speaking live on air to reporters on News Nation’s program Wednesday, RFK Jr was asked to clarify what he meant when he said the MMR contains "a lot of aborted fetus debris." “There are populations in our country like the Mennonites in Texas, were most afflicted, and they have religious objections to the vaccination” he began, adding “because the MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles. So they don’t want to take it.”

    She felt like life had no meaning — so she started screaming like a gull
    https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/2025-european-championship-gull-screeching-1.7522967
    Life got you down? Try throwing your head back and screeching like a gull. That's what Anna Brynald did. A personal loss a few years ago inspired the Danish woman to chase her dreams, no matter how silly. So she signed up for the 2025 European Championship Gull Screeching contest, and won gold. "It was so refreshing to meet so many people that just like seagulls, like me," Brynald told As It Happens host Nil Kӧksal. "I like that the seagulls like fries, because I love fries, and they're just a bit misunderstood, like me. And they're cute."

    A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store
    https://www.theverge.com/news/659246/apple-epic-app-store-judge-ruling-control
    Epic Games v. Apple judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers just ruled that, effective immediately, Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside apps and blocks the company from restricting how developers can point users to where they can make purchases outside of apps. Apple says it will appeal the order. The ruling was issued as part of Epic Games’ ongoing legal dispute against Apple, and it’s a major victory for Epic’s arguments. Rogers also says that Apple “willfully” chose not to comply with her previous injunction from her original 2021 ruling. “That [Apple] thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation,” Rogers says. The judge also referred the case to the US attorney to review it for possible criminal contempt proceedings.

    How to Not Get Poisoned in America
    https://buttondown.com/theswordandthesandwich/archive/how-to-not-get-poisoned-in-america/
    The minute I saw that Robert Kennedy Jr., a notorious disease-loving health crank, was going to be responsible for the nation’s health—and the health of its food supply—I knew who I had to call. Deborah Blum is the woman who literally wrote the book on the history of US food regulations. In 2018, she published “The Poison Squad: One Chemist’s Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the 20th Century,” a fascinating and occasionally harrowing account of how the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906—which led to the establishment of the FDA—came to pass. Blum is an expert on poison; her 2011 book “The Poisoner’s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York” also contends with poison, intentional and unintentional, and the law.

    America may be just weeks away from a mighty economic shock
    https://archive.is/9wcPU
    Real-time data aims to avoid both pitfalls by providing a timely picture of activity across the economy. Many covid-era indicators are not relevant or no longer published. Fortunately, however, global trade is thoroughly tracked. Ships set off weeks in advance of their arrival, broadcasting their position to satellites and providing a list of what they contain.

    A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for. The agents had a search warrant for the home, but the suspects listed on the warrant do not live in the house.

    Carney wins Canadian election, while Conservative leader loses his seat in Parliament
    https://apnews.com/article/canada-election-trump-carney-poilievre-861f5b00794355b231ee3f218568949b
    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade war. Carney’s rival, populist Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, was voted out of his seat in Parliament, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected Tuesday. The loss of his seat representing his Ottawa district in Monday’s election capped a swift decline in fortunes for the firebrand Poilievre, who a few months ago appeared to be a shoo-in to become Canada’s next prime minister and shepherd the Conservatives back into power for the first time in a decade.
